Ah interesting, there was another patch earlier in this thread which is
what I was testing.
The patch does work, I hadn't installed the resulting code properly.
I am not sure both patches address the same problem though.
I added John to the CC list, hope he doesn't mind!
It would be nice if these patches were committed before 7.0 too :)
